Question 7 5 pts
Officer Belkin is on patrol when he sees Onyx and Holly, two notorious female ex-convicts who were
recently released from prison after serving 10 years for armed robbery. Belkin knows it is them
because he is the one who busted them last time.
Because he does not like them, Belkin decides to follow the two of them. Belkin observes Holly
prowling around the back of a closed liquor store like a burglar would do. Belkin decides to
investigate their activity and orders Holly to stop so Belkin and ask her some questions.
Belkin frisks Holly and feels a gun under her jacket. Belkin removes the gun and arrests Holly for
being a Felon in Possession of an Illegal Weapon, which is a serious crime. Holly objects to the gun
being admitted into evidence at trial because Belkin had no probable cause to arrest her at the time
he stopped and frisked her and found the gun.
Holly's argument is not correct because the officer did not need probably causes to conduct the stop and frisk
Holly's argument is correct because the officer did not have a legal basis to stop her in the first place
Holly's argument is correct because even if the office had a legal basis to stop her, he had no legal basis to
frisk her
None of the above
